A Velux Loft Conversion takes 4-6 weeks, a Dormer Loft Conversion can take 6-9 weeks, a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion and a Mansard Loft Conversion will take the most time to complete at around 8-12 weeks. The main process of building these different Loft Conversions though are very similar. The first 1-3 weeks will involve removing scaffolding, creating structural beams for support, clearing gutters, and fixing your roofing. The following week, your loft will be built on your roof and our team of electricians and plumbers at Loft Conversions Company will also assess and fix electrical wiring and plumbing. Your loft staircase will also be fitted and measured to have it installed later on. The middle of this process (at weeks 4-7) will also include plaster boarding, tiling, and securing everything into place. Upon finalizing these on the last week of the construction process, installation of your door and staircase, and windows will be done to your loft. Once everything seems to fit into place, our inspectors and team at Loft Conversions Company will take one more final test to see if electrical and plumbing work properly, and if all structures installed are secure. Once they are all tested safe, your loft is now ready for decorating!
